Featured Photos: Lollapalooza Day 2, Chicago IL - August 2, 2008

Day 2 at Lollapalooza featured many more high-caliber artists, among them Lupe Fiasco , MGMT , The Ting Tings , Sharon Jones & The Dap Kings, Wilco , and Rage Against the Machine.

Much of the news following Day 2 has been about Rage's set. Some fans indicated a manic scene as the audience pushed forward to get closer to the band, with Rage frontman Zach De La Rocha stopping the show three times in an attempt to prevent things from getting out of control. According to the Chicago Tribune, there were "no serious injuries suffered during the Rage performance, though some people were taken to the hospital for broken bones but most would be released by Monday (8/4)."

There were also reports of an imbroglio outside the gates during Rage's set. "Some witnesses claim as many as 2000 people stormed the gate," but concert promoter Charlie Walker of C3 productions, who was on the scene, told the Tribune it was fewer than 100, and that they were quickly turned back by police.

On a lighter note, The Tribune gave props to homegrown rapper Lupe Fiasco. "Dressed in a white suit and gleaming, silver shoes, the MC works the crowd with the enthusiasm of a Baptist preacher giving the Sunday sermon" telling fans "Welcome to Lupe-palooza."
